Walking out of the pool, Zhao Qian, though soaked, felt unprecedentedly good. Her whole body felt endlessly energetic, and with a casual grip, she could make the air shatter.
"This power, it’s truly unbelievable." Zhao Qian’s eyes widened. If she hadn’t experienced it herself, it would be hard to imagine that pure physical strength could achieve such a level.
Beside her, Rong Niang also closed her eyes, feeling the changes in her body.
After years of hard cultivation, at this mont, it was inferior to one transformation.
"Senior brother’s arrangent must have been correct, but I didn’t expect the change to be so significant." Rong Niang murmured to herself, seemingly shocked by her body’s power.
"This is just a single transformation. Your levels are currently too low. If you beco stronger and experience a few more transformations, then the power would be terrifying." Li Yi’s voice rang out as he stopped at the doorway.
"Junior sister, since you are safe and sound, I should also leave. The matters of the Four Seas and Eight Continents are almost settled. It’s ti I returned to Earth to address the crisis there."
"Brother Yi, wait." Inside the room, Zhao Qian suddenly beca anxious. She hurriedly opened the door, appearing before Li Yi with her clothes disheveled, covering her chest.
"Brother Yi, I, I and senior sister wish to go back to Tianchang City with you."
Zhao Qian blushed, her whole body shrinking, hiding behind Li Yi, afraid of being seen in such a disheveled state by outsiders.
But Li Yi imdiately refused: "No, Earth now is not the sa as before. Disorder prevails, and danger lurks everywhere. Although your abilities are not bad, you still need to grow. Besides, the Four Seas and Eight Continents cannot go unmanaged. Our master has gone to Liangzhou to teach disciples. Soone must stay to hold the fort here."
"And don’t think about sneaking back to Earth. Matters of life and death are not trivial."
"Alright, since Brother Yi said so, I’ll stay in Sanyang City and take care of the martial arts hall." Zhao Qian lowered her head slightly, unwillingly conceding.
Li Yi then looked to the side and said, "Rong Niang, you are the senior sister. Help keep an eye on her. Don’t let her act recklessly. Wait until Earth is sowhat safer; it’s not too late for you to go then. The situation now is different from before. If not handled well, it won’t just be a few people dying. It could an the destruction of the entire Four Seas and Eight Continents."
"Yes, senior brother. I understand." Rong Niang nodded solemnly upon seeing Li Yi’s stern expression.
"I’ll leave you with so gifts. You might need them in the future." Li Yi then handed each of them a bottle of Divine Blood and Life Water, crucial life-saving items in critical monts.
In addition, he left them a Red Gold Divine Sword.
Even though with their strength it would be difficult to wield the sword’s full power, it could protect them at critical tis, and strong ans were needed to hold the Four Seas and Eight Continents.
"I’m leaving. Take care, junior sisters." Li Yi said.
"You too, senior brother." Rong Niang showed a trace of reluctance, and Zhao Qian felt very downhearted as well.
Seeing this, Li Yi couldn’t offer any comfort and just said, "It’s not a life or death parting. What’s there to be sad about? When I return, we’ll still et as always."
Hearing this, their spirits lifted sowhat.
Soon.
A Xiangyun rose from within the Li Mansion, quickly streaking across the sky and flying into the distance, soon disappearing over the Four Seas and Eight Continents.
When this Xiangyun appeared again, it had once more arrived at Ghost Street.
No.
This place could no longer be called Ghost Street, but rather an underground ruin.
Wandering ghost soldiers were around, and the Yin Gods of the four Family Heads were holding their positions.
Upon seeing Li Yi’s arrival, they all respectfully saluted and made way for him.
Li Yi only glanced around, nodding slightly at the imposing defensive stance, showing the four great families were indeed willing to contribute and not engaging in half-hearted efforts.
"Guard this place well." He left a word and quickly advanced along a path through the ruins, riding on the Xiangyun.
Soon.
Li Yi completely left the ruins behind, surrounded by the sights of tall buildings.
The dense Heaven and Earth Energy carried a polluted aura rushing toward him.
At this mont, Li Yi once again crossed worlds back to Earth.
After dealing with these trivial matters, it was ti to see what Earth’s situation was like now. Hopefully, he wouldn’t be so unlucky as to encounter a Demon King right away; otherwise, he truly had no confidence to handle it.
He didn’t rush off to another place but returned once more to Tianchang City.
Currently, Tianchang City seed peculiar. The city still stood, and even so residents were living there, which did not seem like a place without order.
However, even the Investigation Bureau’s Zheng Gong and the others had to flee across worlds following Nun Liu and several Daoists, which logically ant Tianchang City shouldn’t be defensible. Why was this situation present?
Did the scenario change after they fled?
Or had those who stayed beco slaves, restricted by so powerful Great Demon?
With nurous questions, Li Yi rose clouds into the sky above Tianchang City.
Standing on the Xiangyun, he beca completely vigilant and sensed the surrounding aura.
If a Great Demon remained here, its aura could not be hidden.
"Although there’s so Demon Qi, it hasn’t reached the level of a Great Demon..." Li Yi’s eyes shifted slightly, looking at so corners within the city.
So little demons from the Demon God Realm were hiding in the uninhabited high-rises.
However, it does not pose a threat.
Suddenly.
Li Yi noticed a rather peculiar terrain.
It was a large river passing through the old and new districts of Tianchang City. However, due to the Sky Tipping incident, the bridge over the river had long collapsed. Coupled with the appearance of Extraordinary Creatures, the river had beco a dangerous place, and very few people dared to approach.
Yet at an unknown ti.
An island suddenly appeared on the large river in Tianchang City.
Li Yi stared at that island.
He rembered clearly that there was no island before; it should have been man-made.
With Li Yi’s current strength, constructing such an island was no difficult task and could be done with ease.
"Let’s go take a look."
Li Yi soared into the air and flew over, simultaneously drawing out his Red Gold Shattering Star Spear, ready to face powerful foes.
However, as he approached, he felt no sense of danger.
The island was spacious and clean, with only a few buildings. The most central of these was a pagoda. Though it looked ordinary from a distance, upon closer inspection, it was extraordinary. This pagoda glead with a radiant glow, swallowing and spitting Cosmic Energy, containing a world within, and protected by a Grand Array, preventing any leakage of aura.
This was why Li Yi hadn’t noticed it initially.
"This is an... Immortal Artifact." Li Yi’s eyes shifted slightly as he observed the pagoda.
Only after getting close could he make out a few features of it.
Because back when Cultivators from the Xuanxian Continent invaded Earth, there was once an Immortal Artifact that appeared in Tianchang City. He rembered it clearly; that Immortal Artifact was called the Eight-sided Immortal Gold Tower.
This pagoda was undoubtedly also an Immortal Artifact and was very similar to that Eight-sided Immortal Gold Tower.
It seed rather like... a replica.
"I wondered who it could be, and it turns out to be you... Li Yi." Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out, sounding sowhat familiar.
Li Yi turned his head to look.
He saw a tall woman dressed in battle armor, full of heroism, striding over with long legs and a swaying posture. The high ponytail behind her head left a deep impression.
"Ning Wu." Li Yi stared at her, his attitude not the best.
After all, there had been many grievances between the two of them.
"You’ve actually returned to Tianchang City." Li Yi then frowned but quickly realized: "Since you’re here, does that an that guy Yang Wei is here too?"
"He’s not here; he’s gone to kill enemies. I stayed here to guard the place," Ning Wu glanced at the radiantly glowing pagoda beside her.
It was precisely because of this pagoda that the safety of this place was ensured.
"No wonder Tianchang City is safe. Has Yang Wei protected this city?" Li Yi then asked.
Ning Wu smiled and said: "Isn’t it obvious? In the current situation, how many cities can still remain unscathed? Great Demons passing through, Cultivators invading, and various powerful enemies crossing dinsions; Earth is completely chaotic. I really don’t know why Wei chose Tianchang City. I advised him to cross dinsions and leave here, but he insisted on staying."
Li Yi didn’t respond; he looked around at other places.
Several other Cultivators erged from inside the buildings at this mont.
Among them was Ning Wu’s cousin, Yu Chuan.
The others Li Yi didn’t recognize, but he assud they were Yang Wei’s followers.
He liked to save the world, and it was normal for him to have followers around him.
"Since everything’s alright here, then I’ll be off." Seeing this situation, Li Yi summoned up Xiangyun under his feet, ready to leave.
"Wait, Li Yi." At this mont, Yu Chuan called out to him.
Li Yi said, "Is there sothing else?"
Yu Chuan said, "Wei asked to pass a ssage to you. He said the coordinates of World No. 36 are in the hands of soone nad Wang Dongtian. If you want to cross dinsions, you’ll need to find this person first."
"Coordinates for World No. 36, Wang Dongtian?" Li Yi’s expression shifted slightly.
He rembered this person.
He was a responsible person at the Cross-border Base.
But given the current state of Earth, finding Wang Dongtian is no easy task.
Moreover, he understood what Yu Chuan was hinting at by reminding him to retrieve the coordinates of World No. 36.
Because Yang Wei had promised to resurrect his mother.
"Alright, I understand, thank you." Li Yi nodded, and since Tianchang City was temporarily safe, he could attend to so personal matters and handle so enemies on Earth.
